Cabarete, located approximately 40 km east of Puerto Plata and 20 km east of the POP Airport, on the North Coast of the island. It is a charismatic little beach town that attracts sports enthusiasts and sun worshippers from all over the world. Until the late 1980's, this was a secret vacation spot for Dominicans living inland. That is until a couple of foreigners discovered the ideal windsurfing conditions in Cabarete Bay, and this secret spot didn't stay secret very long.

Since the late 80's the town has hosted both professional and amateur international windsurfing competitions. In 2000, the sport of kiteboarding started to take off, and the town has hosted international professional competitions every year since. Cabarete is considered by many to be one of the top places in the world to windsurf and kiteboard. But, that's not all that can be done here. You can surf, mountain bike, horseback ride, go canyoning, and take part in so many other adventures, or just simply enjoy the fun in the sun and the great food and nightlife.

Adventurers can experience the thrill of wind or kitesurfing. If you’re looking to relax and rejuvenate, you can unwind with some spa or massage services. Cabarete has an active nightlife for those who want to dance till dawn, and the natural beauty of the island gives explorers new places to discover on land and sea.
